FORAKER says that sectional bit

FORAKER says that sectional bit
terness is the worst thing in our
politics, but that the bloody shirt will
be waved until the South acknowl-
edges that in the late unpleasantness
the North was altogether right and
the South altogether wrong, that
Grant led patriots and Lee led
traitors, and so on. If the bloody
shirt is never flrled until the South
crawls on its belly, eats dust, and
kisses the rods of such narrow and
jaundiced demagogues as Foraker,
the horrid garment will be fluttering
in the breezes when the cows come
home the last day in the evening ~

The scenes pertaining to that event.
When asked about the alleged snub
that Mrs. Cleveland gave Governor

The event, both individually and
effectively, passed off without the

Dangerous sneaking scoundrels.

Mrs. Josephine Clark, a widow
lady who lives on what is called
Kellogg street, back of the College,
had a fine $50 COW poisoned by I'M
known miscreants about a week ago,
and although every effort was made
to save it, it died on last Wednesday
evening. Mrs. G. has reason to be-
lieve that this devilish deed was done
by some parties who live near her
from motives of malice and revenge,
and takes this method of informing
all those whom it may concern that
II they do not desist from such prac-
tees, they will be punished to the ut
most limit of the law. Threats had
been frequently made by certain per-
sons that If she did not leave her lit
tie home something serious would be
done to her, and this is probably the
elimination Of these threats. Not
long ago, as she opened her door,
she was shot at and the Intel of the
door in which she was standing was
filled with shot. These parties will
be hereafter closely watched and il
any more devilment is done they
will be arrested and prosecuted with
out mercy. They have been spotted
and had better look out and keep
quiet or 1t will not be healthy for
them. Mrs. Clark is poor, but
Reputable woman, and deserves the
protection and encouragement of her
neighbors in these troubles, for II
may be their time next, and such
characters are dangerous to be al
large in any community.

Mr. >. Hodgson, of GAINESVILLE, has
just completed and put up, over the
grave Of the late Hon. ]. e. Bailey,
in Greenwood Cemetery, in this city,
a very neat and elegant sarcophagus
OF dark Barre Vermont granite,
which is 10x6i feet at the base, and
nine feet high, and which bears the
following simple inscription:
flames Edmand Bailey.
Born In Montgomery county, August IS, 1881.
Died Dec. ~. 1885"
The general plan of the mansoleum
Is three receding bases, surmounted
by a square plinth with panelled
sides, and cap, all exquisitely sculp-
tured and polished. On the cap is a
monogram containing the letters ~.
r. b. and on the third base the
single word Bailey" This Is one
Of the handsomest jobs in the Gene
terry, and reflects the greatest credit
on the mechanical taste and skill of
Mr.. Hodgson, whose establishment is
too well, and has been too long,
known In this community to need
any recommendation or encomium
from us. We have another object in
view, however, In calling the atten-
ton of our readers aud the public to
this monument, and that is to no
tice the striking contrast between
what is inscribed upon it, and what
Is usually inscribed on similar memo
rails for the dead.
The inscription on this tombstone
is In admirable and most exquisite
taste because its simplicity is very
appropriate and In admirable harmo-
ny with the character of the man,
whose modesty was only surpassed
by his sterling worth. We see here
no fiatterirg eulogiums-no long,
profuse and ostentations parade of
character or achievements-no full
some adulteration, or high sounding
praise of the dead. Nor, in this case,
was this necessary. These things,
and the fame, life and character OF
James E. Bailey have become a part
of history.
Between thesetwo periods: August
10, 1922, and December 20, 1885, If all
In his life of manly achievement, OF
Christian heroism and self-denial, OF
fidelity to honest convictions, and in-
domitable courage to defend them.
of all of what might be termed al
most q model OF what makes up the
patriot, son, brother, father, husband,
friend, Christian and citizen, soquiet-
ly and unobstrusively illustrated In
his life, public and private, could be
written, 1t would make a volume.
No mere inscription on a marble
monument could do justice to his
memory, and therefore it is not at
tempted. The writer is proud to
have been numbered among his life
long friends, and although he does
not pretend to say that "Jim Bailey
was faultless, yet he has known him
from his boyhood, and he does not
hesitate to say that he was one Of the
best and purest men he ever knew.
